On my monitor (2560 x 1600) the menu on CC 2014 is too small - so tiny I can hardly read it. Selecting Expereimental 2nd option makes the whole programme far too big. Either so small I can't see it unless I sit very close to the monitor or so big it is unusable.
No problems with PS CC, only PS CC 2014. Having to unistall CC 2014 and go back to CC. Support offer NO solution

    The menu sizes are controlled by the Windows settings in Photoshop CC 2014.
    Make sure you have all the updates installed.

    "The menu font size in the 2014.2.x release of Photoshop CC is determined by the operating system settings. For example, on Windows 8.1, you can adjust the menu font size by following the steps in the “Make text and other items on the desktop larger” section of this Microsoft Help topic."

    Why is it so difficult for adobe engineers to change maybe 3 or 4 lines of code to allow the menus, "file, edit, image" and so on to be adjusted from windows when every other company out there does it. All i'm using is a 22 inch monitor and font size for the menu headers is about 6.

    Please tell adobe to make this adjustable like all other program do.

    I installed the free trial on a new PC yesterday, selected 200% today. Still too small to read. Will go back to my older version on my Mac if I can't enlarge the menu.

    Did you install Photoshop CC 2014?
    Did you enable the 200% UI scaling?

    I AGREE
    the problem is not solved. Neither solution suggested works
    Microsoft has no impact on the menu sizes on Photoshop. My menus are huge now on the other sites. Remains tiny here.

    The only one that seems to change the menus makes half the page unattainable.

    They definitely have not resolve the issue yet.

    WARNING - while that does enlarge the UI, it does not scale everything correctly. We really cannot recommend that hack, nor support users who attempt it (because we know things are not going to work correctly).

    Here is the solution for CS6 - just tried it with CS6 on my Dell XPS15 and the UI of both Photoshop and Illustrator are fine.

    The solution here worked for me:

    Scale the UI 200 percent for high-density displays.
